About My Research
Under the advisement of Dr. Yonggang Liu, I am pursuing my master's degree within the Ocean Circulation Lab (OCL). My interest in circulation began with my deep-rooted fascination with moorings and has only grown since I began maintaining four real-time moorings off the West Florida Shelf. I am currently working on understanding the connection between Tampa Bay's circulation and water quality parameters. This has been achievable through the use of The Tampa Bay Coastal Ocean Model (TBCOM) and The Tampa Bay Observing Network (TBON). I look forward to contributing to a greater understanding of Tampa Bay.
